Hi guys,

I never did much supplementation with whey. I want to buy a good, quality whey protein and I'm not sure what to look for. What are some of the characteristics of a good protein, is there a brand that is more natural than others (less artificial sweetners etc.)? I'm really lost here. I'd really hate going to some body building forum for advice. I know many of you work out seriously, so please advise.
Thanks for your help!

Thanks for your reply! I like the fact it has enzymes, and splenda as the sweetner. I did some research in the mean time, and I'm shooting for raw as possible, grass-fed cow milk, no sweeteners, no additives type of thing, no casein, more of a concentrate than an isolate, because the other goodies in the concentrate with immunoenhancing properties (my main concern), the trouble is I can't find any brands in Europe, let alone available in my country and the shipping costs from US are ridiculous.
I was looking into Maxx Whey, but it's an isloate :/.

I'm sure it does, it sounds really good for bodybuilding, I was just hoping to find something more natural to reap all the benefits of whey, and I'm a girl, so boosting testosterone is not something I'd particularly want ;) Depilation would suck, LOL. But I have a friend who's a hard gainer, this would probably be more suitable for him. Again, thanks for the recommendation!

Hey!
I don't think you need to take anything then, just check what you eat that's all. I live in Spain so that for me is easy.
So a girl in a PUA forum? who has written more than 100 posts? That is very interesting

I think you missed my point Otis. ;) I'm looking for cold-processed pure whey concentrate, with no additives, no coloring, no added flavors, no sweeteners available in Europe, preferably bulk.

Yes! Only available in Europe, that seems the hardest bit. Shipping costs are more than the protein LOL.

Well thats because Monstanto will sue any farmer that doesn't use GMO seeds and our justice system will side with mega corpeations always, because our goverment will send FBI to raid raw milk distributors. The same goverment that puts poision in your water. Chances are you won't find healthy organic food in the US.

cost, size of scoop, amount of protein, the amount of carbs, and its quality. New Zealand is very good quality but, its pricey since it is imported. The reason for its quality is due to the way the laws are in New Zeland. No growth hormones, rgbs, and or steroids put into the cattle making for a better grade product. I also use all max isolate whey protein. Gold is great too.

Hi T, what you want to do is look at teh nutritional information on the back and check out how much percentage of the powder is protein. Anything that's dramatically less than 80% will be full of additives and crap. Whey isolate should be closer to 90%.

Joeblack is right, NZ protein is very good but it might cost a bit to get it to Europe. I buy mine from these guys. http://www.davis.co.nz/nonIE.htm
Search for A450. It's pure whey concentrate at 80% whey. I get the 20kg bad for around $400 NZDollars depending on current market prices. Thats about 200 euro so at 10 euro per kilo its a good price but the shipping might hurt.
